A set of first editions of The History of Trade Unionism and Industrial Democracy, by Beatrice and Sidney Webb.

Both important socialists and economists in their own rights, Beatrice Webb is known as a founder member of the Fabian Society whilst Sidney co-founded the London School of Economics. As such, the works here act both as an informed history and as a strong argument for socialism, written during a period in which unfettered free-market capitalism was at the forefront of British policy.

These eminent collaborators address the imbalance between employer and employee masterfully.

Thank you for the very good packing and the quick delivery of the sixteen volumes of the Letters of Horace Walpole, the Paget Toynbee edition, which arrived today. I only ordered them on the nineteenth, and here they are on the twenty-first, only two days later. Excellent service. I have unpacked all of the books carefully and put them on my shelves lovingly, and intend to begin reading them in the New Year, a treat I look forward to. The next time I am in Bath I must come and browse in your shop.
